WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The action taken

foreign Affairs on the fisheries question, is

A majority Of the subcommittee find
that whatever course was taken Nv the
House should be had, In view OF the
gravity Of the interests involved, not only
with the knowledge but with the full con-

German retaliat-ry bill, - intro

Belmont rctaliatory bill a. reported
By the foreign AFFAIRS committee, TO both

There may be yet more grief IN store
for the Blainiacs. A now figure looms
up whom Blaine thought he had lcft
hors dc combat. II il no less a person
than Roscoe Conkling. who IL still not
by any means m old man. That he i
power in the party nobody denies
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Record has been looking tho matter up.
He says:
| II would not BE- matter Of surprise 10 the
veteran politicians n Mr.. Cmkling should turn
| up NJ Albany ~ . candidate for election % the
United States senate-though Il would DO il
the nature Of m unpleasant surprise for Mr..
Blaine. notice that our Roscoe Il again Civ
| ing close attention 70 his ottirc, ana that he
wears good clothes. trims his heard ana
changes his necktie frequently. These signs,
matrimony. and, with Mr.. Conkling, may be-
taken for an intention 20 again coQuet with
politics and WOO the Republican majority in
the Legislature. Besides. he has made . snug
little sum IN the last six years. and has laid BY
and safely invested eno.000 for his old age. his
wife having - much more IN her own right 50
Mr.. Conkling. ~ fifty-eight. alert handsome
and eloquent, whose bugie blast Il worth 10000
men 20 his party any day. may safely aspire to
the Senate ~ New York's only great Repub-
licaa leader. and not unreasonably he may
have an eve upon the Presidency.
Conkling would naturally take tho
place Of Logan as astalwart leader. lie
will be even more formidable. for he
has no recent quarrels to heal up as
Logan's courage had made him. Conk.
ling's quarrels were not 50 noble and
creditable rs Logan's. but they were
not 50 recent. He is incomparably su
perior to Blaine in every manly trait.
He would not DO driven to SO many
personal explanations involving down.
right falsehood. Still. he may have
learned to dislike politics, and he may
also have no aspirations higher than
the Senate. He might give the New
York Blaine henchmcn some trouble on
that score. Blaine can't afford to let
Conkling back into public life on any
terms or for any purpose. Prcconceivcd
purposes and final acts do not always
correspond in magnitude.
Our advice to the unhappy storm
driven Blaine boomers is to keep
weather eye on Conkling. His motives
may be the most innocent in the world.
But even then he may experience new
motives. Where power Is ample and
nothing Is lacking but motive it -
safe to look out Motives come with
strange suddenncss and from strange
sources sometimes. 1t Is pity for the
Blaine people. Their distress is ex-
trcme, and has led them to do some
questionable things Of late in order 10
save their candidate at least until con-
vcntion time. They had long siege
trying to get him nominated. and then
failed 70 get him elected, and any fur.
Their disasters are cruel to the extent o.
exciting sympathy even among bitter
enemies. Des Moincs Leader.

EAsrroRs, Ne. Jan. si.-When the sun
Nus rising Saturday morning. . large feet
o. Canadian vessels were taking herring
IN tho watep Of Passamaquoddy bay
The news Of tho new arrivals aeon spread
from house 70 house, and when the sur
was an hour high the wharves were
crowded with an excited gang Of Maine
fishermen and their wives and children.
A. this IL the time Of year when immense
schools Of herrings run In, the citizens saw
% once what their Canadian brothers
were after One Of the boats was hailed
from the shore b. one Of tho angry citi-
scns, and In reply 20 his question - "a
what they were DONG ono Of the Cana
dian'e answered:
I'VE are taking Yankee herring. That's
what we are doing.n
70 the citizens their indignation knew no
bounds Threats Of retaliation were rife.
and IL il believed that had there been any
available ordnance In town the angry fsh-
ermcn would have opened IRE on the inso-
lent Canadians.
A. the day advanced news was received
from st. Andrews that the Canadian
cruiser Middleton had touched at that port
during the forenoon. Later IN the day she
was seen cruising on Eastport, and there
tho news spread that the Middleton was
there 70 prevent any American fishermen
entering Canadian waters to fish. The
Indignant citizens were told BY the Cana
dian fishermen, who were within . stones
throw Of the shore, that the Middleton
was there 70 protect them against the
Yankees One Of the captains OF the Cana
diap vessels laughed insolently At the
no. = condition of the Eastport fisher
men, He said the Yankees could not mo-
lest him, and he proposed to fish just
wherever IL suited his fancy.
When asked II he did not know he was
within the line. he said:
s'Of course, am aware Of IL When
man can almost step from his vessel to
the shore he b pretty sure he Is inside the

on this eide Of old Passamaquoddy. and
have been for several days Why should
not we come here and take them. You
Yankees follow the fsh into our waters.
and when the cruisers are not around
they dodge inside the dead line and take
all the fish they can get. Why shouldn't
we do the same, especially when there
are no cruisers about to seize our craft
We would be more wary about entering
your waters II your coast was guarded

The information was collected BY expert

in reviewing the reports, says:

Il may teach our statesmen. IL will not be
questioned that the reports furnish evi-
denccs Of recuperatve energy, and Of
material progress and development by
the Southern people, uncxampled in the
history Of our civilizations; in short, that
the new and the mirhtier South Is rapidly
emerging from the blight and desolatlons
Of the civil war, and promises in q short
time to attain high degree OF prosperity.
This marvellous development can be
truthfully anirmee, not Simply, or
chiefly, in respect TO railway
transportation or 70 mining. or
manufactures, but 70 every material m
terest Of the South and TO almost every
section Of u The exceptional stations are

tions TO the country, even 70 the Southern
people themselves, for they disclose .

prise and industry which II un-
